Lunch?
Americans in Vietnam prove themselves to be total pussies and perhaps explain why they lost the war…

We have been nomadic by nature (read: humans).

He did that to find a better place/a better shelter to lead his ... Comment - Like

You've taken a wrong turn, the car breaks down, and you're lost in the woods with your survival gear. Do you have the equipment and training to survive? Many people wouldn't be, even those who had some type of emergency pack or gear just in case an accident happened. A person in this si... Comment - Like

2 years ago, in the cultural exchange program of South-East Asia youth (SSEAYP), I had a chance to experience the life with Muslim and Christian families; and now, I have more opportunities to explore the lives of the Jews.

Hiking is meant to be an enjoyable outing in the great outdoors. A hiker doesn't necessarily need to develop a heavy workout schedule to get in top form, but he does need to be in reasonably good shape so he's enjoys the experience. Following a simple plan to shape up will improve overa... Comment - Like

i was supposed to upload my photos awhile back, but with work starting, as anyone will tell you, you begin to lose enthusiasm for life.

that slow, long winded drive through the MRR2 highway evokes plenty of feelings, among them is 1. that i’m actually pretty glad to be back 2. that i’ll miss not being able to travel for a year and 3. that i’ve finally gone from growing up to grown up.

continuing where i left off before experimenting with slideshows, i left phnom penh and headed towards siem reap, for none other than the 8th wonder of the world – ang kor wat.

alright, i’m gonna try something different today. i’ve made a slideshow of all the photos i’ve taken while in bukit lawang.
because of the sheer amount of photos i take while on my travels, i don’t think it would be feasible to upload them one by one. so in addition to lovely little feel ... Comment - Like

from my limited knowledge of the working life, there are generally three types of people you’ll meet in a corporate environment.

working brings about plenty of changes in a person, the sudden boost in a persons ego, their increased spending habits and their rehearsed impressions of a wallstreet stock broker.

First off, my name isn't really bob, for some reason or another, people have referred to me as bob throughout the years and it has stuck.
my blog is about my experiences as an asian person traveling through south-east asia, you'll soon see that this adds a whole new dimension to traveling. I currently work as a writer for a local newspaper back in my hometown, as a writer, there isn't much of a need for me to hang around the office, so i use all my free time to travel.
